Sapele/African Mahogany/Zebrawood pricing

New User

Looking for some help pricing some lumber I have. I've got a decent amount of good sized, rough sawn boards of Sapele and african mahogany. I also have some smaller, already planed boards of same species and a few boards of zebrawood. I have bitten off more than I can chew with the amount I have (need the storage space back for other species). Would like some help on how to price this stuff by board foot or otherwise.

I would start my research at The Hardwood Store and/or Wall Lumber. This will give you an idea of their prices. Depending on availability in your area, you might be able to offer your wood at a premium or you might have to offer it at a discount in order to get rid of it on your schedule.

Thanks Steve, I checked the only local place that I know of that sells the stuff, found similar Sapele at around $6.50 a bf, but the zebrawood and mahogany were no where near the same length/width and prices varied significantly due to this. Will check Wall lumber, thanks again.
